Spring Constant Calculator (k)

Calculate the stiffness of a spring using Hooke’s Law

About Spring Constant Calculator

The Spring Constant Calculator helps mechanical engineers and students determine the stiffness of a spring using Hooke’s Law. It is calculated as:

k = F / x

Key Points

  • F = Applied Force (N)
  • x = Displacement (m)
  • k = Spring Constant (N/m)

Applications

  • ✅ Designing suspension systems
  • ✅ Vibration analysis
  • ✅ Mechanical system modeling
  • ✅ Strength testing of materials

FAQs

1. What is a spring constant?

The spring constant (k) represents how stiff a spring is. Higher k means a stiffer spring.

2. What is Hooke’s Law?

Hooke’s Law states that F = k × x, meaning force is proportional to displacement within the elastic limit.

3. Why is it important?

The spring constant is essential in designing machines, suspension systems, and vibration absorbers.

4. What units are used?

The spring constant is expressed in Newton per meter (N/m).
